Defaulting charset on the server

Someone just drew attention to an open bug report in Apache concerning
shipping with an AddDefaultCharset set by default in httpd.conf.
This leads to bogus charsets being served in many cases.

I've just put forward a suggestion, but I'd welcome review from those
familiar with character encoding issues and CA-2000-02 (which is the
main argument in favour of the current behaviour).

Comments and suggestions please:
